Already down two players, UCLA lost another. The seventh-ranked Bruins shrugged it off and kept on going. Jules Bernard had 16 points and nine rebounds and UCLA’s defense stymied Stanford ‘s shooters in a 66-43 victory Saturday night, giving the Bruins sole possession of first place in the Pac-12. UCLA (16-2) won its sixth in a row and improved to 8-1 in league play, snapping a tie atop the standings with idle Arizona. Jake Kyman added a season-high 15 points playing a season-high 27 minutes, bolstering the offense with leading scorer Johnny Juzang in COVID-19 protocols for the second straight game. Tyger Campbell had 10 points and nine assists. «It was my time to play tonight and I enjoyed every minute out there with my teammates,» Kyman said. Jaime Jaquez Jr. was limited to seven minutes after tweaking his already sore right ankle when he stepped on another player. Jaylen Clark missed his third straight game while in concussion protocol. «I just knew given Jaime’s position I had to get on the glass a little more and be sort of a physical presence down low,» Bernard said. Isa Silva scored eight points off the bench to lead Stanford (12-7,5-4), which had its two-game winning streak snapped.
